Details

Design Your Own Stuffed Animals: Have you sewn stuffed animals, or "softies", from patterns, but always
wanted to create your own designs? In this class you will start with a
sketch and transform it into a sewing pattern for a stuffed animal.
You'll learn how and where to add gussets and darts to make your design
truly three-dimensional. Don't let faux fur or stretchy fleece scare
you! Don't shy away from a softie with long skinny arms, or curvy
antlers! Learn all the tricks of the trade and come away with an
original sewing pattern that you can make and sell. Abby
Glassenberg is the author of The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends to Make
and Sew and a new book about soft toy design to be published by Lark
Crafts next spring. She is also a licensed toy pattern designer for
Simplicity.

Limited to 6 students (17 yrs of age or older)

Level: Intermediate - you are comfortable using a sewing machine and have past experience making stuffies.
